I don’t imagine the system following this would be worse ideologically to a socialist than a theocracy. Surprised more aren’t happy about the unrest as an opportunity for socialists. Not sure why the hesitancy. Can’t be any love for their current theocratic system.
Iran has been a target of US imperialism for decades, and the US has overthrown their government before and installed a US puppet, just like they’d like to do now. It was even one of the 7 wars in 5 years countried outlined by the Bush administration.
Its not your or my place to choose what form of government they have, that’s for the Iranian people to decide. Your place is to oppose the US bombing civilians and sanctioning the country.
I’m all for Iranian people plotting their own course. I think if they throw out the current system then that’s great. I’m just surprised by the hesitancy over that from ml spaces.
I’m sure USA and Israel will be happy to see the current system fall but it’s not like that’s going to make me hesitant to cheer if the Iranian people decide to overthrow it
They aren’t simply ‘happy to see’ like some kind of observer, they are actively co-opting genuine protests for their own ends, at the expense of the Iranian people.
Imperial Germany sent Lenin back to Russia to destabilize it. Of course enemies of the current leadership/system are going to try and take advantage of the situation, happens probably every time there’s protests or revolution or whatever. If the people want to take down the current leadership or system then isn’t that still something to be cheered for?
This is so laughably bad. Whos the next lenin? Is he currently working for cia or mossad? Which prominent socialist circles does he come from?
Now dont get me wrong, north korean style iran i wouldnt mind, or say stalin like, most importantly they need self defense, nuclear weapons. Before that even if by divine action a socialist became the president after the us and israel backed coup(seriously i cant imagine how other than descending from heavens), he woyld be swiftly replaced. Socialism isnt tolerated.
Fell for it again award

The problem is that the US/Israel isn’t and will do everything they can to plot their own course instead
